Mark Buehrle?? Why Not? (Bought an RV and no longer throws. Turned down 15 million.)

BUMP

MLBTradeRumors from 2 weeks ago

Mark Buehrle is still out there, apparently in no rush to sign, but has not retired either. Wondering if he stays in shape then pulls a Roger Clemens style mid season return to a contender.

Makes sense to leave your options open if your Buehrle. If nothing works out so be it. If the right scenario appears, then jump on it. Little to lose here if your Buehrle

Maybe he pulls a Clemens or Pettite, stays in throwing shape, and if a playoff team has an injury in August, then becomes available.

I suspect a contender will pick him up near the All-Star break, let him make 2-3 starts in AAA to test his effectiveness, then both sides decide if they want to put him on the roster.

That is precisely what the Orioles did with Jamie Moyer in 2012.

Good mind, srock.

For more than 15 million? No. Not at all.

maybe he has enough money, but prorate 15 million by a few games in Aug and Sept and then a WS ring, oh yeah. I can see his willing to have a phone line open and willing to this. just pure WAG on my part.

Exploring the hinterlands in an RV is no way to stay in baseball shape.

Turned down $15 million?!

From what I read in google, his net worth might be in the 50 million range.

So like Buck told Chris Davis, how much is enough? Do you have enough to buy what you need?

[Sanfran327]

Hopefully he got himself a decked-out Prevost and decides to roam the earth in it for a while. That's the life.

He made $136,795,000 in his playing career so I'm assuming he is pretty well set.

$15 million to play baseball is still $15 million to play baseball. Hard to turn that down.

Something like 60% (IIRC) of NFLers are bankrupt within a couple years of leaving football. Buehrle made a lot more than an average athlete but you never know.

I'd rather pay Buerhle 18M for next season than sign Gallardo.

If 5.9 K/9 is scary, what is 4.1?
